pff thats all you got?
Let:
x = # of humans
y = # of horses
so:
x + y = 74
2x + 4y = 196
so:
(-2)[x + y = 74]
2x + 4y = 196
so:
-2x -2y = -148
2x + 4y = 196
Add the 2 equations:
2y = (196-148)
2y=48
so
y = # of horses = 24 horses
&
x = # of humans = 74-24 = 50 people

I was doing problems like this 10 years ago so no homework here.
Judging by some of your posts I'm sure you're doing (or should be) them now..too bad you can't.

You know it's funny... back in high school, you'd be sitting in calculus class, looking at math problems, wondering "where the hell would I ever come across this in the real world?"
Maxbimmer. That's where.

I've never seen a variable being placed in a decimal digit before... if that is a typo, this is a very easy equation to solve

It's a ****ing quadratic... x^2 + 2x -35 = 0. Didn't any of you take grade school math!?
x = -7 or +5.
